Medicine and Markets - Essays on Ancient Medicine in honour of Vivian Nutton (Hardcover)

The study of ancient medicine has been revolutionised over the last half century and Vivian Nutton has been a leading figure. Here distinguished colleagues and former students offer essays in his honour, developing themes from his ground-breaking scholarship. The book explores the diversity of the ancient medical marketplace. From the Bronze Age to Classical Antiquity (with glimpses forward to the Digital Age), from the cult of Artemis to the corpuscular theories of Asclepiades of Bithynia, from the medicinal uses of beavers to the cost of healthcare and wet-nursing, and from remedy exchange to the medical repercussions of political assassination.
